1920 Map of Elk Garden
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
The Potomac River forms a winding border between Maryland and West Virginia in this 1920 era survey, where steep terrain dictated the path of industry and settlement. The Baltimore and Ohio RR and Western Maryland RR follow the river's contours, serving a string of rail-dependent communities like Barnum, Shaw, and Chaffee. Mining and timbering life is evident in the dense network of small settlements and neighborhood schools, such as Nethken School near Elk Garden and Empire School in the hills above Abram Creek.
